RIP Bob Weir

[Jay-Bone]

Fare thee well. I'd like to think he's jammin with Jerry, Phil & Pigpen.

He may be going to hell in a bucket babe, but at least he's enjoying the ride.

Stunned, even though he has looked a bit shaky the past year.
A real rock icon

Perhaps the most unique rhythm guitarist ever. His role in between Phil and Jerry’s counterpoint is insanely overlooked. A lot of the incredibly cool things you hear and think are Jerry, is actually Bob. Incredible musician.

Bobby’s up there playing with Phil, Pigpen and Jerry now. Beat cancer only for his lungs to fail him. Crappy news. And only 78. I was celebrating Donald Fagen’s 78th tonight with a Steely Dan listening marathon and some choice IPAs only to get knocked down by this sad news.

I didn't want to drink tonight, then I saw this and cracked open a 21% double bourbon barrel stout. What a first full week to start the year.

Jerry’s right hand man is now jamming with him again

RIP. What a life.

For those who never read it, there’s a great story about Weir meeting his biological father in 1996:

I remember having this tape as a kid.

Still freakin rips.

 

[Skiblets]

Sounds a lot like an Allman Bros jam

nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Read the news with acceptance instead of sadness, instantly feeling it called for letting my Deadheads know I love them.

I extend similar warmth & affection here for our common bond.

Growing up in East Hampton, CT, I never knew a single Dead Head. We were Skynyrd and Zepplin fans. So, I never became a true fan.

That said, I love their music. And hearing other artists covering their songs.

Jam in Peace, Bob Weir.

In 2007, living in Ft Greene Brooklyn with roommates, we had a backyard BBQ for my birthday, end of August. My attractive Brazilian roommate said "I have a friend coming over you might appreciate". It was John Perry Barlow. Just cruised up on his motorcycle and hung out for 4 hours. He told so many stories. The Dalai Lama, aliens, oh yeah, Bobby's in town too he may come over. "Anyone have a guitar". Bobby didnt make it over, who knows. It was insane. Ill be listening to the Dead all week.

The empire state building being lit tie die colors in Storrs South last night was a nice tribute.

Sorry to hear it. End of an era.

I had my lucky dancing bears socks on for the Chicago Bears game when my buddy texted me the sad news. July 19,1989 Alpine Valley best Terrapin Station I ever heard. The psychedelics were good too.

Stopped at Twelve Percent Beer Project in North Haven. Now sipping Brix City's "Shakedown Jams!"

 

[Palatine]

Last saw him with "Dead & Company" at the Sphere in Vegas June 2024. My wife took this picture at the show. Kinda looks like Bobby in heaven. You can see Bobby and the band at the bottom of the pix and, of course, on the roof of the Sphere.
